The planting of my studio garden has begun.

After a long winter and frosty nights, the first plants have finally been able to move into my new studio garden. Even though in spring only tiny leaves of the perennials are often visible, I particularly like this time of planting because there is almost daily growth to be seen and I can't wait to discover something new while strolling through the garden (at least if everything goes well and the perennials are thriving in their location).
Despite its small size, our garden has three distinct zones: sunny, partially shaded, and shady areas, thanks to the trees we planted years ago. I planned the planting accordingly. Sun-loving flowering perennials and grasses, such as Gaura lindheimeri 'Wirrling Butterflies' or Panicum virgatum 'Northwind', surround the water feature on the sunny main terrace by the house. A mix of foliage and flowering perennials for the partial shade in the middle (such as Heuchera x cult 'Sugar Plum' or Geranium nodosum) and Japanese-inspired grasses, ferns, and foliage plants for the shade at the far end of the garden, like Hakonechloa macra 'Mulled Wine', complete the picture.
